New Year's Baby
Low oil prices shuts down wells
Congratulations to Rocky Grey Bull and Candice Cooeyate who had the New Year's baby on January 2, 1999 in Glasgow. Ceceila Maria appeared at 1:26 a.m. on January 2, 1999, weighing 8 lbs. 2.8 oz. and is 20 1/4" long.
The Fort Peck Tribes, in their joint venture with U.S. Energy, have temporarily shut down four producing oil wells due to rock-bottom oil prices in recent weeks.
The temporary shut down ceases a 15-year run between the Tribes and U.S. Energy, and the most profitable multi-million dollar joint venture the Tribes have seen with a private company.
A total of 18 wells in the Lustre area - part of the joint ventures between Continental, WISCO and U.S. Energy -have also been shut in, causing bleak times for oil field workers and contractors.
"We hope to re-open two of the best wells when the

Heart disease cases noticeable I More DC case over New Years

By Richard Peterson For the Wotanin
Because of the noticeable number of heart disease cases on the Fort Peck Reservation, the Indian Health Service will soon launch a study of certain patients and their risk factors.
Dr. Richard Tenney, who will lead the study, said he was led to do the study for several reasons: The number of heart patients being treated by IHS and the possibility that some potential heart patients could engage in preventive measures, such as diet changes, to delay the onset of heart problems.
